Pandora Desktop Beta. Discover music from your Dock.

preview mac 20080603 202459 Pandora Desktop Beta. Discover music from your Dock.From the description in their own FAQs;

Pandora is a music discovery service designed to help you enjoy music you already know, and to help you discover new music you’ll love.

It’s powered by the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken, the Music Genome Project: a crazy project started back in early 2000 to capture the complex musical DNA of songs using a large team of highly-trained musicians.

Up until now, with a Pandora account, you could only listen to Pandora on the Web, Pandora on the Go, or Pandora in the Home. But it has been announced that you can now discover music from the comfort of your Dock with Pandora Desktop (Beta).

The folks at Pandora do advise users that they have big licensing and streaming bills to pay and thus there will be ads to see. You can always minimize the application if you like, of course. The other concern they express is that people remember that this is beta software and that you are expected to give feedback and feature requests.

With that out of the way, sit back and enjoy the tunes!

MacJams announces music equipment recommendation system for Mac users

MacJams.com has announced a new community-based music hardware and software
recommendation system called the “RecRoom.” The MacJams RecRoom allows
users to rate and submit reviews about thousands of products for musicians.
Because all reviews and recommendations come from MacJam’s almost 8,000 mac
musician membership, the intent is to provide information regarding
compatibility and performance of products when used with the Mac platform
and programs such as GarageBand, Soundtrack, Logic, etc. Anyone may browse
and search the RecRoom database, and any registered MacJams user
(registration is free) may submit their own recommendations and ratings.
